We really do need to get our offices sorted out, i'm now in the living room with 9 3D printers and a laser cutter, my wife is in half the bedroom upstairs with all her work... We're looking at buying a garden office to move her out there so we get our bedroom back again... Although i like the idea of the Shelf wall to separate the two areas...

That was really chilling watching you work so hard! Thank you for sharing x

Well, that was different. Another lovely video, nicely put together. And interior design to add to the CV. Is there no end to your talents?

think people have had replacement printer

DEFINITELY report the problem to Epson have heard they are aware of it.Always used Permajet papers as they recommended EPSON . A few years ago they had an open day at their prermesis in Stratford on Avon and all the printers were Epson.

NOOOOOOOO🤮🤮🤮I just bought this printer…damn

You are a life saver! Thank you!

Missed this video until today but thanks for the day at the market sorry it didn't go well. Marketing yourself can be so time consuming and it's not fun. Where do you sell? I know you have a website and you do the markets but where else? Just in case you didn't know there is Tik Tok,Ebay,Etsy,Amazon Handmade,Instagram and Facebook. I would definitely check those out and have you considered classes? I think you would be great at it if it's something you could consider.

That was a very enjoyable and insightful video. Thanks for it. Don't get discouraged. Your art is just wonderful, but not only is success all about location-location-location, but "location" changes in value and usefulness as time goes by, and outside circumstances impose on your plans. Maybe things will change come the Holidays...or maybe you'll need to (read that: be FREE to) move on to something else, next year. You'll find the right formula. Keep the faith!

I really need an answer, is the cardstock specifically for inkjet? I've just bought the printer but just realised my special paper is for laser only. Will it work or not?

I'm very new to sublimation and so far everything I've tried (placemats, fridge magnet and mouse mats) is so faded you can hardly see the print. I've changed temp & times. Can you possibly advise? I'm using the SC-F100 printer came with ink and the 8 in 1 clamshell press.

I have a friend that when she was less ill used to do craft fairs with hand painted glass she was very, very good but again if in the wrong place or the wrong time of year she would hardly sell anything and can be so disheartening. Your artwork is beautiful please don't get too disheartened as there will be someplace your work will shine and sell like hot cakes. x

I really enjoyed watching this, so don't put yourself down! Your editing gives a warm, personal, fly-on-the-wall insight into your day. Loved it! Wishing you well as you consider all the options for next year.

Lovely to see you back on RUclips again ❤

I recently purchased the ET8500 printer and I can print on 250gsm pre scored cardstock, the card I'm using is slightly textured. I have put in two sheets using the top feed. Yay NO ROLLER MARKS! I did actually change the thickness on the printer to thick media. I'm not sure if I changed the printer setting on my laptop to match. I tried the rear feed but couldn't get on with it. So stuck to the top back feed. One happy bunny. x just a quick tip when scoring the card use a folded piece of copy paper over the top when you crease it. No marks on it. Love your video it was very informative, you helped me to choose this printer before I purchased it a few months back. x

Actually, not rubbish…an enjoyable video and nicely put together, as usual. I do so hope that whatever direction you decide to take it works out for you. I know how hard you have tried and I like the idea of spreading your time over multiple venues. Your art is what I want on my walls and I never tire of looking at it. I am sad for you that times have become so hard for so many small businesses like yours. Oh, and get well soon, Justine.

Hi there Jagos Art i have been watching your videos for quite a while before I purchased an 8550, however I dont use the printer for my greeting cards (I printed 22000 last year), I use a pair of Canon G5050 printers which are run by 3 colour plus a black 70 mil resevoirs and are very cheap to run, although this would mean that youd need yet another printer I honestly couldnt praise them enough for speed, quality and all round usability, As for my backgrund I service around 550 artists and have been doing so for around 20 years, mainly printing greeting cards, Ltd Edition Prints, Placemats etc, I gleen this work by visiting Art Groups and Galleries, hope this helps, Ken

14:12 5 dye inks, 1 pigment ink and the pigment ink is black and is never used for printing photo, it only triggers when you print documents

I just got my 8550 and the rear vertical feeder will not feed paper. The front 8.5 x 11 prints and feeds perfectly. Just the rear feed. It isn't a jam just paper doesn't go down into the printer. I am using hippo sublimation ink and 11 x 17 sublimation paper. Any idea what is going on? Thanks.

btw at 3:58 you can swipe through the menu rather than pressing the buttons

1:20 that is a picture i drew, it's not a photograph xD love the disclaimer, was hard to tell tbh :D

Happy Birthday to you 😊. Cheers to you.

Happy Birthday to you 😊 Cheerfully all day thru.

You've said in reverse at 14:16 that it's 5 pigments & 1 dye ink set.

Good morning, can you show how to print in back size picture 11x17 into a 11x17 paper from the printer or print from a SD card into a 11x17 paper off the printer?

5 Dye Based inks, 1 Pigment Black btw like most home-based printers.

Do you possibly have a link tot he blank placemats? Thank you for an informative video.

Well done for sticking it out. I did consider this printer but tbh for my needs way to big and more than my budget would allow but still doesn't stop me wanting it, although I would find space if pushed I opted for a smaller Canon Megatank and for my needs does an excellent job but I do find I sometimes I want to print larger than A4 but just scall back my project. Paper and card stock as a paper crafter is a nightmare I notice all too often that what is marked as xxx gsm feels thinner although a little denser which is not useful when you want a thicker card. Perhaps that's why the Epson printer paper doesn't show roller marks because it is denser therefore no give in the paper to leave the marks unlike thicker paper of the same weight (gsm) will imprint/emboss/deboss etc. I have been using PPD photo paper with excellent results and it has a plain back, they also do packs of greeting card blanks with envelopes.

13 minutes for you to just open the paper. Get on with it.

Been having this same problem! Sucks when you pay $200 for a printer and have to deal with this crap.

The 8550 is a great printer. Giving the ink enough time to dry in the printing process can help to avoid rollermarks. 1: thick paper on (driver/printer) 2: one way printing (two way printing off (driver) 3: printing silent (driver/printer) The prints will take longer, but its worth it. Thank you for showing us your experience.

Please don't swear when i have a mouth full of drink..... Fuck it..... Splosh tea everywhere... We've changed our products from normal cards, over to seeded cards, they're about the same thickness as that card.. However, once you've finished with it, you tear it all up, soak it in water and then plant it in your garden and it has seeds mixed in with the paper.. We put them through the top feeder of the ET-8550 with no problems... We've also done our own seeded calenders... Was thanks to you that we got that printer, and we've not looked back!!

Really good video. Great to see you bringing your personality to a topic that could less interesting. I really enjoyed watching :) We’ve always found that glossy paper is thinner than the equivalent gsm Matt or uncoated paper/card, but agree it’s super confusing. We print greeting cards for a lot less than £1.18 per card. Give me a shout if you want me to send you some samples 😊

Have you looked at the video of Keith Cooper about poster board printing? It is on double sided Epson board. Maybe it's available in other sizes.

Have you installed Epson Media Installer on your PC? This software allows you to adjust the thickness of your paper. My Epson P900 prints on 310 gsm Hahnemuhle Matt Fine Art Photo Rag Bright White paper just fine with no roller marks... There are settings that you can edit the thickness of the paper in it. Also on printer Menu/General Settings/Printer Settings/Thick Paper. This is default to of for some bizarre reason. Also if you power down the printer it defaults back to thick paper...off!

The gms will relate to the paper density not the thickness same as 1Kg of sugar vs 1Kg of flour. Even though it’s thinner than you expected it may be stable enough to make greetings cards. Epson heavy weight Matt is in my opinion a good paper and being Matt it can be viewed from any angle. But I don’t make cards.

That really is a hassle to work with, considering your current set-up and location. And that thin paper wouldn't do at all. I agree, it's not worth it. That being said, 50p is about 66¢ USA. 50p for a greeting card is what they're asking in your neighborhood? I'm not sure about anywhere else, but I'm seeing prices like $4.50 (or £3.43) in places like Walmart around here. That's for those kinda-sorta (but not really) funny cards, with cartoon art and humorous greetings. For the pretty ones, with no caption...well, first off, there aren't may of them. Like, only one or two choices out of hundreds of cards up and down the aisle, and even then, they have stock photos, not actual art. Nothing against photography, but that's the reality of the thing here. Those sometimes have very fancy paper, and cost even more than the "funny" kind. So, £3.50 for one of your cards would not be all that excessive, I don't think. And £4.50 wouldn't be outrageous in the least for a piece of original art. Anyway, this was quite a fun journey, and I'm sure it helped some folks who are looking at new printers. Thanks!

❤ well that cheered me up after a day in the rain. About half way through, I did have concerns that you were going over the edge into madness, but thankfully, you held it together. Well done. 9 I still think there's something wrong with a £600+ printer that seems to leave roller marks on so many people's paper. On a £200 printer with a thick fine art paper, fair enough.....but on a printer in this price bracket, I think it should cope with papers that serious enthusiasts/ professionals are likely to use. As always, you brought a ray of sunshine into my ki5fyen as I cook tea. Cheers

Hello, I just bought this printer. Can you tell me what settings you use for Marrutt paper? Is it "Archival matt ss"? And for ordinary cardstock what are your settings please. Thank you

Thank you for taking the time to produce this and the cost of the paper , i have the roller marks only on a3+ paper and not epson branded i must add , i will get some a3+ epson paper , i have tried this paper you are using here and it is flimsy but great looking photo print from it , best non epson paper i have found so far comes from the permajet range , beautiful results and generic ICC profiles + Custom profiles ..well worth a look

8550 really seems to have issues with a lot of glossy papers. I used the same weight glossy and matte papers (both by red river papers), and the glossy always had roller marks, while the matte always crisp and clean. Needless to say, most of my cards are matte.

Thanks for recommending Marrutt papers. I've been printing images for my exhibition on Satin/Oyster 265 gsm. I'm very happy with the results.

Maybe give this a try A4 to A5 Matt 300GSM Card Blanks, double sided INKJET Matte 50 Card Blanks from papercutz.

Thank you so much for looking into this, very helpful

You are rambling way too long about the thicker paper issue while even admitting you did not try testing the recommended Epson paper! Hello! Would you have the same mental issue with a replacement part for your car?

Can the printer turn on and off automatically? If so, does it retract the paper feed in automatically as well? Thnx

For the roller marks, you could use frog tape or similar thin adhesive tape down each margin.

Are you still using the Epson printer ?? and did you sort out the issue ? I was going to buy the same printer but lm nit sure now there was supposed to have been a firmware update to sort it out .

I've heard people in the past say how a video they made went viral, and it nearly destroyed their channel. I never understood why until now, so thank you for that. I agree with the comment that you should maybe think about putting up that Epson paper video. No this, isn't an Epson channel, but in all the previous ones, you were talking about real issues you were having with a tool you need for your business, and how you went about solving them (or not). It's apparently helped a lot of people. I don't have an Epson printer, and I doubt I'll ever need to buy one, but I watched those videos anyway. I remember that you kept dismissing your knowledge, and your problem-solving capabilities throughout them, yet people dealing with the same issues found the videos to be helpful. As an artist and a small business person who actually uses that printer, your views on it matter. They have value to people. This may not be the Epson channel, but it is an artist's and small business owner's channel. In my opinion, you absolutely should be talking about the tools you use to make your art and products. People want to know how you use them, and how you've gotten them to work when they're being stubborn. Other artists want to know about your paints, your brushes, the canvases you prefer, and why. They want to know about the software you use. They want to know how you set up your tables at the market. How did you set up your website, and make it so you can accept payments? They want to know how you greet prospective buyers when they walk up to chat. I'm TERRIBLE at speaking to strangers. How do you go about doing it? These are all problems you've faced, and solved, to one degree or another. This isn't to say that cozy afternoon chats, or exciting excursions in the woods aren't enjoyable too, because they are. I guess I'm just saying that you can embrace your "accidental" success the with printer videos, because they're as much about who you are as any of the other videos. Still, I also agree with another comment, advising you NOT to chase the algorithm. We all watch RUclips for knowledge, entertainment, and even company, but Google doesn't see RUclips as anything other than an advertising platform. They don't care about you, or us, unless what we're doing with RUclips supports their current and ever-changing business models and Quarterly goals. That's got nothing to do with artistry, small business, or community -- three things you stand for.

I stopped thinking about making money on RUclips since 2018. I had a channel and made some money, but I didn’t like that I made so little money, and I had to work daily for low earnings. The main reason is because they made an update of "fresh content" back then. When I read it, I figured this platform isn’t for me anymore. People can make a lot of videos, but as for me, after a lot of work, I can only make one video a week. It’s not worth spending four days a week to write my script, create the video, and edit it, only to get 200 to 800 views in the end. I considered it a failure, especially when most people started making all kinds of nonsense and getting 10k views or more back then. So, I will never focus on RUclips for earning; it’s not my place, but I will use it for some other things. And that update to force people to have followers and watch time made it so difficult for people who try to create valuable or good quality content, while people who made simple and easy videos with clickbait titles could get views easier. Having values and not making a plan will lead to failure. Enjoy, but getting subs now is not easy at all with all those people making videos, especially now. use youtube to promote your business that's all you can do
